Struggling To Keep Plants Alive,

[tom130691]

i want more plants ut evertime i add some they tend to die with exception to the orginals


once it looked like this but now there is no leaves on the plans on the left and the thicker plants at the rear on the right have all faded away they did last a while but no more

tbh i never added any plant food tablets but they get alot of light natural and bulb,

any plants that should grow easy, or should i buy plant food and try again

Wow, that last picture is looking pretty bad

Is it the Fish Box 64? I used to run this tank (up until last year) and had success growing plants in it. I ditched the blue bulb and replaced it with the same bulb as the other side. I then added some easy grow plants and it flourished. Argos play sand, no ferts or co2, nothing added to the water column. I'llk try and find some pics so I can remember what plants worked well in there.

What are your tank stats? Do you use any ferts or co2? What wattage do you have in the bulbs and what's the volume of the tank?

How often do you do a water change and how long do you have your light on everyday? Does the time on your lights change often or is it on a timer?
